Give Me Your Hands and Marry Me

Chapter 275 - The Initiator



As the influence of the video was getting bigger and bigger, some people even went to the Shen Company to demonstrate.

“Boss, the police have come. They are keeping order outside the building.” Shen II hurried in. “Obviously, the demonstrators are paid to come here.”

Shen Xinglan closed the document and said, “I’m not surprised. Bai Yongwei is up to his old tricks. Since the police came, let them handle it.”

“Also…” Shen I looked at Shen Xinglan’s face and said cautiously, “Little Demon called me and said someone was sensationalizing it on the Internet and they mentioned Miss A Miao and Yaya.”

Shen Xinglan’s face darkened upon hearing this. He moved the mouse and began to search for the web page. When he saw the comments, his eyes became ice-cold.

“Call Lil Xi.”

Meanwhile, A Miao saw the comments on the Internet as well. As she was about to file a complaint, she found they were deleted after refreshing the page.

When Shen Xinglan came back, she immediately asked, “Did Lil Xi hack those people’s computers? Good job!”

Seeing that her emotions were not affected by the comments, Shen Xinglan felt at ease. “Lil Xi not only hacked their computers. Since they are paid to discredit people, Lil Xi also posted their phone records on the Internet.”

“Huh?” A Miao’s mouth was wide open, “I want to see!”

As she expected, there was a bloody hurricane in the network. The online celebrities that used to dominate the rumors had become street mice. But it was not the end of the story because some stars were involved.

“The gossip of the male movie king and the female star turned out to be a piece of her own work!” A Miao said and sighed, “And this! Look.”

Shen Xinglan was not interested in these, but hearing her exciting voice, he sat down to take a look.

“The little fresh meat that often participated in reality shows actually has a secret affair with some female star. In order to divert the attention of the fans, he paid them to stir up his relationship with a new female singer.”

The rumor of Shen Xinglan’s video had been suppressed as a large number of fans began to denounce their idols. They changed so fast that the situation was getting worse and worse. In the next few days, A Miao paid special attention to the network news.

“Another one announced that he would go abroad for further study!” He Shishi came to gossip with A Miao this day. “Under these circumstances, he could still make an excuse and getaway. He must have a strong background that could keep him in the game. It is estimated that he will come back after the rumors subside.”

A Miao was playing with blocks with Yaya who was trying to stuff a square block into a round hole…

“I used to believe that happenings in the entertainment industry were exaggerated. It seems to be more terrible than I thought!”

He Shishi rolled her eyes at her. “It proves the fact that great trees are good for nothing but shade.”

For some stars, no matter what they said or did, no one dared to criticize them. Sometimes, when they acted in movies or worked as a judge, they could get high pay.

“These people all have backgrounds—they belong to powerful families, or they are supported by underground influences.”

“Then our Chu Bai will not be afraid of them!” A Miao nodded affirmatively as if Chu Bai was already a star…

You don’t say. What a coincidence!

“Ling Lang said a baby-food company invited Chu Bai to shoot an advertisement.” He Shishi poked Yaya, who was still trying to stuff the square block into the round hole. “Yaya! Do you want to shoot an advertisement?”

Yaya, “Ahahah!”

“Why is she angry?” He Shishi did not notice the shapes of the building blocks in her hand were incorrect.

“Wow, wow…” Yaya began to lose her temper, kicked the blocks aside, and threw the toy bucket at A Miao.

He Shishi was surprised. “Is her temper so bad?”

“You tell me!” A Miao became angry and put the toys away. “If you don’t want to play with them, I will put them away.”

When Yaya saw that her mom took away the toys instead of holding her, she pouted and cried even more loudly.

“What are you doing?” He Shishi took a look at A Miao as she picked up Yaya. “She is a baby. What could she know?”

Seeing Yaya in He Shishi’s arms glaring at her, A Miao smirked. “You underrate her. She is very clever!”

“Yaya, come play with me! Leave your mom alone.” He Shishi gave her limited edition wallet to the little girl. Yaya was attracted by the diamonds on the cover and tried to pluck them out as she sobbed.

“It’s fine. Let her do what she wants! They are durable.” He Shishi cleaned Yaya’s face and generously gave her the key bag.

A Miao said querulously, “If she can’t pluck them out, she will cry again.”

Sure enough, ten minutes later, Yaya smashed the wallet on He Shishi, and cried, pouting her little mouth.

“How capricious!” He Shishi laughed. “Fortunately, your father has a lot of money. Otherwise, who can endure you in the future?”

Shen Xinglan came in just then and his face sank on hearing this, “Why are you still here at this late hour?”

“…” He Shishi winced. It was just four o’clock in the afternoon! How could he say it was late.

She glanced at Shen Xinglan before picking up her purse and said, “I’ll get going then!”

“Ignore him. Stay and have dinner with us!” A Miao stopped her.

“I am not afraid of him!” He Shishi grinned. “I have a date at the bar. Would you like to come along? You haven’t gone out for some fun in a long time.”

Shen Xinglan, who was holding his spoiled daughter in his arms, cuddled his wife. “Only women who can’t get married go to those places. A Miao doesn’t need to.”

“…”

He Shishi sneered, “You are married. Let’s see if you can stay home and not go socializing.”

“I don’t.” Shen Xinglan lifted his chin.

He Shishi lifted her chin higher than his and retorted, “I don’t believe you!”

A Miao whispered, “He is telling the truth. He never engages in social activities.”

“…”

He Shishi stomped off in her high heels with a dark face after her bestie debunked her belief.

“Ahahah!” When Yaya discovered that her father’s attention was not on her, she began to lose her temper and pull his hair.

A Miao took her from Shen Xinglan’s arms. “Leave her alone. Her temper is getting worse and worse!”

“Just like you.”

Every time A Miao said this, Shen Xinglan always answered her with those words.

“I am not as unreasonable as your daughter.” A Miao put the crying Yaya on the carpet. “Look at Chu Bai. He is so nice. Never cries or causes trouble for no reason. With one toy, he can play for a long time!”

Shen Xinglan nodded. “That’s because he’s stupid.”

“Hehe…” A Miao didn’t bother to look at him but went to the kitchen to get some fruit.

The child couldn’t resist food. Yaya, who still had tears in her face, stopped crying when she saw fruit in her mother’s hand. She stretched out her hand to get it.

“There is something that I think you should be aware of in advance.” Shen Xinglan came over and kissed her on the face. “The people who abused us on the Internet have gone missing.”

A Miao was feeding Yaya fruit puree. She froze with the spoon in mid-air. “What do you mean… gone missing?”

“There were five of them and Shen I had been watching them recently. But he found they were missing today.” Shen Xinglan said in a particularly calm voice, “I think they have been taken away.”

“They were taken away?” A Miao said to herself, “Did some superstars get too angry?”

Seeing his daughter reaching for the spoon held in mid-air with her small mouth, like a bird, Shen Xinglan smiled and took over the spoon from A Miao to feed Yaya.

“They are not capable of this.”

Who could take the five people away under Shen I’s eyes and leave some provocative words?

“Not your people!”

A Miao suddenly thought of something, and she looked at him with a frown. “It can’t be like what I think, can it?”

“Exactly what you’re thinking.”

“Yu Sihan!”

The wind of the island was as gentle as ever, licking the flowers with droplets of water. The petals shook, reflecting brighter colors under the sun.

“Young Master!”

A row of people stood neatly, waiting for Yu Sihan, who came out of the door.

The little teenager’s face was a little pale, and his beautiful facial features looked as though he was very sick causing people’s heart to ache for him. But his eyes were brighter than the flowers and he looked very happy.

“Congratulations. Young Master is fully recovered!” The people shouted in unison, with respectful and excited expressions on their faces.

Song Baohua put the tea tray on the table, looking at him with excitement, and then quietly disappeared.

“Did you bring them back?” Yu Sihan sat on the low couch and touched the white teapot.

The leader of the subordinates bowed his head. “I did, and I’ve already sent them to the institute.”

“Don’t let them die too quickly.” Yu Sihan poured the green tea into the teapot. “You don’t have to keep all of them alive, just one or two will be fine.”

The man nodded. “Understood.”

“What did Shen Xinglan say?”

“He knows we have them.”

Yu Sihan looked at the smoking kettle leisurely. “If he didn’t figure that out, he wouldn’t be Shen Xinglan.”

“But he only hacked those people’s computers to discredit them. Nothing else…” The men scorned Shen Xinglan in their hearts for his weak approach.

“You are wrong.” Yu Sihan dumped the tea.

His subordinate was stunned.

“Shen Xinglan is smarter than I am, sometimes…”

After knowing what Yu Sihan had done, A Miao wanted to make a call to reprove him, but Shen Xinglan stopped her.

“It’s useless to do that. I guess he did this on purpose.”

“On purpose?” A Miao did not understand.

Shen Xinglan looked at his daughter who was full and feeling sleepy, and handed her to the nanny.

“Those people were hired by Bai Yongwei. She was more nervous than we were after things got worse.” Shen Xinglan was playing with A Miao’s fingers. “She is also afraid that we will threaten those people to make a false countercharge against her.”

A Miao thought for a bit, “So she must think you were the one who took them.”

“If you were her, what would you do next?” Shen Xinglan kissed the corner of her mouth with a faint smile in his eyes.

“I will definitely instigate the families of those people to question you. I will tell them that you kidnapped them!”

Shen Xinglan very happily placed her on his lap. “Smart!”

“Then what should we do?” A Miao blushed as she grasped the man’s collar, “We can’t let her frame us like this.”

“We can leave the problem to the initiator.” Shen Xinglan snorted. “Yu Sihan is too idle. I’m afraid he should come back.”
